When Oklahoma comes to Ohio Stadium on Sept. 9 this fall, it will be the first non-conference, power-five opponent to play in Ohio Stadium since 2014. With that in mind, let's dive into all of these types of matchups for Ohio State football at home since 2000.
In the final matchup of the Pigskin Classic, the No. 13 Buckeyes hosted Texas Tech in what would be the first of two non-conference home games this season. The key to this win for Ohio State was the ground game, as four players combined to run for 323 yards including five total touchdowns from Lydell Ross and Maurice Clarett – all with Archie Griffin on hand.
